Participants of Olympiads are ranked on the basis of marks obtained. Hence, after taking the test, students can judge themselves academically at five different levels - within the school, at city level, at zonal level, at regional level and above all at International level.
Each student is provided a Student Performance Report (SPR). The SPR analyses the strong and weak areas of the student and also gives a detailed performance comparison of the student vis-à-vis other students at School, City, Zonal and International level. Analysis of the student’s past years’ performance is also provided.
Students are suitably awarded/provided scholarship based on their International, Zonal and School ranking. Prizes are announced annually and include cash awards/scholarships, medals, gifts, certificates etc. Selective International toppers from each class are awarded/provided scholarship at a grand prize distribution ceremony held in Delhi, presided over by eminent personalities. Prizes for zonal winners and school winners are sent to their respective schools. For the year 2022-23, a sum of Rs. 20 Crores was spent towards awards/scholarships, felicitations, scholarships etc.
Students of classes 1st to 10th are eligible to appear for the SOF ICSO. There is no other eligibility criterion like minimum marks.
SOF ICSO is a single level exam.
All the relevant information is sent to the schools registered with us across countries, along with prospectus, registration forms, posters and other details before the exam. The students come to know about the necessary details from their school teachers or through the SOF official website www.sofworld.org or through the SOF facebook page www.facebook.com/sofworld.
